99 Words About … The addictive high of ‘Breaking Bad’
July 12, 2012 - 1:02 am
Sixteen episodes. Eight this summer, eight the next.
That's all that's left of "Breaking Bad" (10 p.m. Sunday, AMC), one of this generation's greatest dramas.
So wonderful are Bryan Cranston - whose journey from meek chemistry teacher to despicable meth kingpin has been as shocking as it's been mesmerizing - and Aaron Paul - as his ex-student, partner and ultimate victim - each remaining moment with them is one to savor.
If you haven't seen it, "Breaking Bad" is one of the reasons they invented Netflix.
Just take your time.
It's a viewing pleasure as pure and addictive as the product they cook.
